Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39880000925

The gas-phase thermolysis of arachno-B6H12 produces predominantly B5H9 and B2H6 in a molar ratio of 2:1 via a first-order reaction having Arrhenius parameters which are essentially identical to those reported for the decomposition of the structurally related B5H11; these results imply a mechanism involving elimination of BH3 as the rate-determining initial step in both reactions.
